I am not a specialist but a general practitioner in the world of the arts.
I am a huge mixed martial arts practitioner.
There are all these different areas of specialization. That's it. You have to be a specialist nowadays. There's no other way. I was an artist for a long time, but I was always into being a general practitioner. I did a little of this and a little of that. And nothing got me anywhere. You have to specialize. If you don't specialize, it takes you until you're about fifty years old before anybody notices that you're doing anything at all.
I'm also a martial-arts practitioner, so it was an easy transition to go do 'Street Fighter,' which is action-packed and let me showcase my acting and martial-arts capabilities.
As a lifelong practitioner of martial arts, I'm trained to remain calm in the face of adversity and danger.
[In the modern game] you're either a clay court specialist, a grass court specialist or a hard court specialist... or you're Roger Federer...
If you scroll through all the movies I've worked on, you can understand how I was a specialist in westerns, love stories, political movies, action thrillers, horror movies, and so on. So in other words, I'm no specialist, because I've done everything. I'm a specialist in music.
Brain surgeons earn 10 times that of a general practitioner... it pays to be an expert.
I'm seduced by the arts in general. Arts is like the power of now.
New York is a great place to be fed in the arts. The arts in general are a large part of my life. The city was my postgraduate course.
For the general practitioner a well-used library is one of the few correctives of the premature senility which is so apt to take him.
I do think that a general liberal arts education is very important, particularly in an uncertain changing world

We say arts education is good for general education, but that's not the point. The arts are what great nations are remembered for. They are a mirror.
I hadn't slept in 20 years. I would sleep a couple hours a night, and I went from specialist to specialist and they could never find out why.
Not to forget, you are speaking with General Yasser Arafat. It's true that I am an engineer. But also I am a general. And I am religious. I believe that no one can approach me except God.
In all technai or arts (medicine perhaps most of all), there is a self-exhilaration on the part of the practitioner (the intoxication of the ego with its own potency) which is infectious: the patient enjoys a placebo-effect which redounds to the ego of the "artist."
